SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N0. 729,590, dated June 2, 1903.

Application filed February 27, 1902. Serial No. 95,970. (No model.)

In all nih/m1, ft muy concern,.-

Be it known that l, Enxsr Il. HUBNEFELD, of Cincinnati, in the county of llamiton and State of Ollio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ash or Garbage Cans; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention,si.ch as will enable others skilled in the ari; to which itappertains to make and use the same.

My invention relates to au improvement in ash and garbage cans, tubs, and other receptacles; and it consists in the details of coi1- struction and combination of parts, as will be more ullydescribed, and pointed ont in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a view of my improvement. Fig. 2 is a view of the same in vertical section, and Fig. 3 is -a transverse sectional view taken through the depending flange of the bottom.

The body of the receptacle l is formed of sheet metal corrugated vertically between its ends, the latter being left plain and cylin drical, as shown. formed by llutingvor corrugating same, projects entwardly, as shown at 3, in planes beyond the end sections 2, so that said end sections are of less diameter than the diameter of the body at the apexes of the ribs 3.

The two ends of the sheet comprising the body are bent to form interlocking hooks, whichwhen engaged and locked by upsetting the interlocking ends form a double seam which not only adds rigidity to the body, but also makes a liquid-proof joint. Secured in the upper end of the body thus formed is the reinforcing ring or collar 4. This collar is preferably made of wrought metal of a diallieter to snugly fil. within the upper plain end of the receptacle, or, if desired, may be of sheet metal folded or doubled upon itself` to give it the stillness and rigidity necessary for it to possess in order to withstand the usage to which an article of this character is subjected in dumping the content-s into a wagon, and in either event this ring is provided at a point between its ends with an outwardlyprojecting rib or bead 5, which lat-ter rests on thc upper edge of the body l and also forms ascat for fue depending flange ol the cap or cover. lhis reinforcing-ring is secured The metal of the body,v

in place by bolts or rivets, preferably the latter; but as the rib or bead 5 rests on the n pper end of the body of the retepacle the strain is all taken by the bead and is not transmitted to the rivets.

7 represents the bottom. This bottom is slightly dishcd on its upper surface and is 'providedA at its periphery with an inwardly and downwardly projecting extension 8, the periphery of the shoulder 9, formed by bending inwardlyand downwardly, fitting closely .within the plain lower end and. abutting upwardly against the shoulders 10, formed by the inwardly-projecting ribs produced by corrugating the body.

'lhe depending portion of the extension ZI is by reason of the inward bend given thereto somewhat removed from the inner face of the body, and 'lm annular space between flange S and thi.l dy is filled by the reinforcing ring 0r cular 11. 'l'his ring,r or collar 'll is similar to the ring or collar s and is so constructed that its upper edge rests under and forms a seat for the shoulder 9 of the bottom, while its bead or rib 13 rests'nndcr the loweredge of the body. Hence bysecuring the reinforcing ring or co"ar in a position under the bott-om and between the depending portion of the extension S f the bottom and the body of the receptacle a solid and substantial seat for the latter is formed, and when the parts are galvanized a liquid-proof joint or closure is formed. This reinforcing ring or collar projects below the body of the can suflicient to receive all the Wear and rough usage and is secured in place by rivets or bolts lt passing through the plain end of the body and the ring, and, if desired, also through the depending portion of the extension 8 of the bot-tom.

lVith the parts thus constructed and connected and subsequently galvanized to solder all the joints a compact, strong, and durable receptacle is formed, which is admirably adapted for holding ashes or garbage, and by providing the flanged or beaded rings or cellars atV the top and bottom all the wear or rough usage is borne by these rings.

It is evident that many slight changes might be resorted to in the relativearrangement of parts'hereiu shown and described without de parting from the spirit and scopo of my in- IOC construction of parts herein shown and de-' scribed; but,

Having fully described my invention, what.

I claim as new, and desire to secu re by Letters Patent, is

1. An article of manufacture comprising a hollow body, a bottom having an inwardly and downwardly projecting extension forming a peripheral shoulder on said bottom, shoulders in the body against which the peripheral shoulder' on the bottom bears and a supporting-ring inserted between the lower end of the body and the depending portion of the extension on the bottom, said supporting-ring` beari ngagainst the peripheral shoulder on the bottom. 1

2. An article of manufacture comprising a body portion, a bottom having a portion ex-' tending inwardly and downwardly and form` ing a peripheral shoulder on said bottom and a ring or collar filling the space between said body and depending portion and forming a seat on which the peripheral shoulder of the bottom rests. i

3. An article of manufacture consisting of a body of general cylindrical form, a bottom having a peripheral portion extending inwardly and downwardly and forming a peripheral shoulder on the bottom, and a ring or collar interposed and filling the space between said peripheral portion and body and projecting below both.

4. An articie of manufacture comprising a bodyhavinga plain lower end, a bottom having a peripheral portion extending inwardly and downwardly and forming a peripheral4 shoulder in said bottom and a ring or collar interposed and filling the space between said peripheral portion of the bottom and the lower end of' the body-and provided with a bead or rib which rests against the lower end of the body.

y 5. An article of manufacture comprising a body having plain ends and corrugated between its ends, a bottom having an inwardly and downwardly projecting extension and forminga peripheral shoulder on the bottom, said peripheral shoulder bearing against the internal shoulders formed by thc lower ends ofthe corrugations in the body, and ring or collar secured to the bodyl filling the space between the lower end of the body and the depending portion of the extension on. the bottom and forming a seat for the shoulder ou the bottom.

In testimony whereof I have signed this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
